Intel Corporation is making sample of its NOR multi-level cell flash memory chips available. The memory comes at 1-gigabit (128MB) density using its 65-nanometer (nm) manufacturing process technology.

Intel’s NOR Flash memory chips are used in devices such as cell phones to handle Personal Information Management data and to store photos, music and videos.

Handset OEM customers will benefit from a common flash architecture that will simplify the migration from 90nm to 65nm process technology. The end result will be an increase in density with the same sized device.

Samples will be available to customers late in the second quarter.
